HOLY WEEK SERVICES
CLIMAXED BY COMMUNION
The pastors of the local
churches in and around Bre

vitations to Brevard College
students to attend the special

at the respective churches.
During the past week the
Christian Council, under the
direction of Chaplain Roy,
has been sponsoring early-
morning Easter Services at
the college lily-pond.
Each day, Monday through
Friday, a different student
delivered a short message
concerning Christ’s activities
on that particular day.
Those participating in the
programs were Charlotte
Keene, Charles Cort, Bobby
Shaver, Betsy McLean, Vir
ginia Cook, Carlos Peiez,
Walter T.ane, and Sara
Moores. .
To supplement the daily
programs at the lily - pond,
daily devotions, written by
members of the Christian
Council, were prepared and
distributed throughout the
dorms each morning.
On Thursday morning, a
special Communion Service
was offered.

Emerson Head To Be Heard
At Brevard College, 25th
“Arsenic and Old Lace,” the
third production of the current
season of the Brevard Little
' Theatre, is scheduled for per
formance in the Brevard College
Campus Center auditoriuift Fri
day and Saturday, April 27th and
28th, at 8:00 p. m.
This delightfully zaney three-
act comedy centers around the
Brewster family, whose members
seem to have inherited a slight
predisposition toward murder.
The highly respected and genteel
Brewster sisters, both middle-
aged maiden ladies, feel that
their mission in life is to alle
viate the loneliness of prospec
tive male roomers who come to
their family home in Brooklyn.
Their method of carrying out
this noble aim, however, is one
that is not generally approved of
hy either polite society or the
police.
“Arsenic and Old Lace was
first presented on Broadway in
1941 with Josephine Hull play
ing the part of Abby Brewster.
It has since been made into a
motion picture, and more recent
ly was presented “live” on TV
by the Hallmark Hall of Fame.
The local cast, in order of ap
pearance, is as follows. Abby
Brewster, Pat Fuleihan; the Rev.
Dr. Harper, Don Wilson; Teddy
Brewster, Bill Norris; Officer
Brophy, Ralph McIntosh; Officer
Klein, Jim Nichols; Martha
Brewster, Thelma Hart; Elaine
Harper, Gail Bonnell; Mortimer
Brewster, Bill Sagar; Mr. Gibbs,
Lawrence Bauer; Jonathan Brew
ster, Frank McGibboney; Dr.
ilinstein, Mike Masters; Officer
O’Hara, Dick Seiler; Lieutenant
Rooney, Ray Burgin; and Mr.
Witherspoon, Joel Stevenson.
Robroy Farquhar, director of
the BLT during its 12th consec-
utiv'e season and managing di
rector of the State Theatre of
North Carolina, states that re
hearsals for this American com-
:;dy classic are well under way.
250 CAST BALLOTS
IN CLARION POLL
The results of the Clarion-
sponsored public opinion poll on
integration show that the ma
jority of the students who ex
pressed their opinion are for in
tegration.
Of the 250 students who voted,
153 were for integration, 56 of
these strongly in favor and 97
I favoring the move, but with res
ervations.
Forty - nine of the 97 students
who voted against integration
were strongly opposed, the re
maining 48 offering only quali
fied resistance.
Compared to a similar poll
taken in 1956, it would seem that
student opinion has changed very
little over the six - year span.
Of the 222 votes cast in the 1956
poll, 130 were in favor, 92
against.
Ten Receive
Music Awards
Fund-Raising Drive
Planned For May
Under a joint program by the
Student Government Association
and the Methodist Student Frf-
lowship, Brevard College wiU
“adopt” a child through the
‘Save the Children Federation,
Inc.”, a non - profitmaking or
ganization devoted to the better
ment of the welfare of the
world’s children.
The way the program operates
is. simple: the sponsoring indi
vidual or group selects the child
it wishes to support. The sponsoT
then receives a photograph of
the child and periodic reports on
the child’s progress. If the spon
sor wishes, he may correspond
directly with the child.
The cost for the program is
$150 a year for one child. If the
fund - raising drive in May
should exceed this amount, the
excess will be put aside to be
used as a college scholarship
fund for the child.
Ten Brevard College freshmen
nave been approved by the music
department of the college for
music talent awards for the
school year 1962-63. They are
Ronnie Alexander, Susie Allen,
